Tell me about a time you had to deal with a conflict in your team.

Situation: Two engineers disagreed on scheduling: Airflow vs. Prefect. The debate was blocking progress. Task: Facilitate a decision that the team would support. Action: I facilitated a technical comparison based on our requirements: scale, ease of use, ops burden, community support. We ran a time-boxed POC for both. I created a decision matrix (weighted criteria, scores). We chose Airflow for maturity and existing expertise, with a documented rationale. Result: The team aligned; we implemented Airflow successfully. The decision process became our template for tool choices. Lesson: Facilitate with data; use POCs and decision matrices. Focus on team goals, not individual preference.
